Sounds like a great use for a local LLM to strip ads from the output of the ad-infested LLM.

Why are all these code assistants apps coming out now? Is it because it takes two years to make these apps? Or is it because LLM performance is plateauing so the way to capture more of the market is via these apps?
because it's a much better experience than copy-pasting into a webapp
I'd like to try it, but enterprise only?
Surely there must be a way to do the joins in software, without doing it by hand, eg a SQL-like library? Pandas or equivalent?

We should focus on getting rid of KYC, instead of giving up on privacy and security.
Indeed. KYC has a purpose though -- prevention of fraud, money laundering, etc. Getting rid of KYC without a similarly-effective solution for those things seems unlikely. Ideas?

I really don't understand the anti-landlord sentiment. Folks seem to get this idea that your average landlord has no costs, takes on no risk, and just sails away with the rent they collect every month and spend it on a lavish vacation.
Newsflash but buying property introduces significant costs, complexity and risk. By renting you simply choose to pay a monthly fee to a business that will provide you that same property but will take on all that risk instead of you.
Things like this juice the anti-landlord sentiment: https://www.propublica.org/article/justice-department-sues-l...

>It has helped me learn stuff incredibly faster. Especially I find them useful for filling the gaps of knowledge and exploring new topics in my own way and language
and then you verify every single fact it tells you via traditional methods by confirming them in human-written documents, right?
Otherwise, how do you use the LLM for learning? If you don't know the answer to what you're asking, you can't tell if it's lying. It also can't tell if it's lying, so you can't ask it.
If you have to look up every fact it outputs after it does, using traditional methods, why not skip to just looking things up the old fashioned way and save time?
Occasionally an LLM helps me surface unknown keywords that make traditional searches easier, but they can't teach anything because they don't know anything. They can imagine things you might be able to learn from a real authority, but that's it. That can be useful! But it's not useful for learning alone.
And if you're not verifying literally everything an LLM tells you.. are you sure you're learning anything real?
The Gell-Mann amnesia effect applies to LLMs as well!

Related: I have a setup with a PC connected to my TV, it would be nice if there was some way to wake up my PC from sleep using a remote control of some kind. The best way I can think of is using wake-on-lan on another device like a raspberry pi. I could configure it to send the signal when it sees me push a button on my remote.
This doesn't feel very optimal though. Having a whole other device constantly running just to wake up my main device feels like a waste.

Indeed, my first thought is the best place to run this is on an OpenWRT router. Perhaps as a package, or a builtin feature?
